TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 29, 2012) - Post Foods Canada and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced a promotion that will bring junior hockey's star goalies to breakfast tables across the country. Fans of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) can collect up to 24 unique goalie cards and 12 unique goalie face panels as part of the Post Exclusive CHL Goalie Collector's Edition Series when they purchase specially-marked boxes of Family Size Post cereals. Four cards and one face panel are available per specially-marked box of participating cereals, including Shreddies, Honey Shreddies, Sugar Crisp, Alpha-Bits and Honeycomb, while supplies last.

"With 52 Canadian teams and a fan base of over eight million, we recognize the immense popularity and importance of junior hockey to Canadians," said Jennifer Dumoulin, Director of Marketing, Post Foods Canada. "We're excited to partner with the CHL and its three leagues to offer a collectible series that fans of all ages can enjoy."
